from that state in which the cen.
ter of gravity falls in q line inside
the base, the party is made to an
swer for such variation at the
stationhouse.
Our experience has demonstra-
ted to us beyond q doubt that a
city ofsixty thousand inhabitants
can get along and advance at a
solid and constant rate without
the liquor traffic.
ATLANTA, Ga, June %, 1887.
We, the undersigned, merchants
and business men in Atlanta, certify
that the effects of the so-called pro-
hibition laws in Fulton county, adopt
ed by popular vote in November, 1885,
and going into effect July 1886, have
not been injurious TO the business in
terests of Atlanta.
On the contrary it is true that the
trade Of Atlanta is constantly and
steadily increasing; morals are better;
the public order is better; the bank
ing capital has been doubled; new
buildings are constantly being erect
ed more joint stock companies have
been organized in the past six months
than in any similar period of time in
Atlanta; new industries may be seen
on all sides; our municipal finances
are more healthy than ever before; our
people are contented, prosperous and
industrious; our population is increas-
ing, and real estate and personal
Foperty are constantly increasing in
aggregate value, while it is rapidly
becoming a necessity that we extend
our corporate limits.
Real estate sales have increased
enormously during the past winter
and spring, and the prices have been
far beyond what they were in former
years.
These are facts which we state for
the benefit of all whom it may con-
Germ, and without In any way saying
whether they are due to prohibition
or are the result of the pluck of our
people, leaving every man to assign
his own reason.
